POSTFORECLOSURE REFINANCE

Lenders might be willing to make new loans in as little as two years in such cases, assuming that good credit has been re-established. Federal Housing Administration Commissioner Carol J. Galante said in December that generally, “Borrowers are able to access FHA-insured We had two rental properties that were financing three years after they have experienced foreclosed two years ago. We now have a rental a foreclosure only if they have re-established good unit as well as a primary property. Our home is credit and qualify for an FHA loan in accordance worth $1.2 million and we would like to refinance with fully documented underwriting requirements the current loan of about $600,000. Given that for any FHA-insured mortgage origination.” rates are at historic lows, can we refinance now? Under Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac rules, a foreclosed borrower may have to wait as long as seven years to qualify for a new mortgage. Then There is a range of policies regarding new loans again, there are situations where lenders can consider after a property has been foreclosed or sold short. a borrower in as little as two years after a short sale. The first question would concern any Regardless of what you may hear, we now live extenuating circumstances. For instance, were the in a new era when lenders are taking every step foreclosures the by-product of an injury, illness, possible to document loans and avoid future liability. In your particular situation, you have job loss, major accident or the death of a spouse?

Q& A

ASK OUR BROKER By Peter G. Miller

Question:

Answer:

two investment foreclosures, something that will absolutely catch the eye of mortgage underwriters and require close examination. As well, you must consider when the time span for reconsideration started. Foreclosure can be a long process and lenders will want to know the date when title was actually transferred. Each foreclosure will have to be rigorously documented to show the correct time frame. For more information, speak with several local lenders and ask about their current postforeclosure requirements.

Finances: Qualification To Come Some banks are loosening their mortgage standards, and more bankers are expecting less stringent rules soon.

In recent years, it’s been tough for many Americans to qualify for a mortgage loan. Now, there are signs that standards are gradually loosening. The Federal Reserve’s newest survey of senior loan officers shows that almost 10 percent of banks have eased their lending standards for low-risk mortgages in the first quarter of 2013. That’s up from 5 percent reported in the previous quarter. Also, nearly 20 percent of bank risk professionals anticipate the criteria for approving loans to become more relaxed, according to the most recent quarterly survey by a credit reporting company and a risk management association. In the survey’s three-year history, that 20 percent is the third-highest level ever recorded for eased lending rules. While the 20 percent finding may be small, it’s still encouraging news to prospective

borrowers, says David Crowe, chief economist of economics and housing policy for the National Association of Home Builders. He says improving house prices and additional information from the federal government about lending rules are major factors. This ensures that “lenders and investors will know the risks they are taking on and be willing to lend to a wider array of borrowers,” Crowe says. “It should mean that the more traditional mortgage borrower who was able to get a mortgage in the early 2000s, before credit standards fell, will be able to get a mortgage at a competitive rate again,” he adds. Jean Segner, group vice president of mortgage client experience, believes lending guidelines will become less stringent due to “increased confidence in the real estate market and banks eager to help clients with their financial well-being.” – Erik J.

Top 5 Mortgage Myths Many borrowers are misinformed about the process of finding and qualifying for a loan. Learn about the top misconceptions about mortgages and how to counteract them.

Feeling clueless about how to qualify for and find the best mortgage for you? You’re in good company, according to a recent survey by a real estate listing site of more than 1,000 current and prospective homeowners. The survey found that one-third of those polled are unprepared to obtain a mortgage, and many are misinformed about rates, lender terms and down payments. Many of these problems stem from misleading advertising tactics that lead to bad assumptions. The survey results show that 24 percent of respondents assume that their current bank always will offer the most favorable interest rates and fees, and 34 percent believe all lenders are obligated to charge the same fees for appraisals and credit reports. “[Borrowers] also fail to seek out information on their own, and their lack of curiosity can be their worst enemy,” says Randrea Majors-Graham, lending/credit program manager. For instance, one in three first-time buyers believe a 5-percent down payment is always required; 26 percent believe they’re required to close their loan with the lender that preapproved them; and one in five indicate that underwater borrowers are ineligible for refinancing. All of these are untrue. Austin Lampson, senior mortgage consultant, says the responsibility for mortgage miseducation falls on the shoulders of lenders and the media as well as borrowers. “Many lenders don’t take the time to sit down with their clients to review the loan process, and many clients feel they are too busy to ensure this time is carved out on their schedule,” he says. This lack of knowledge means that there are many prevailing mortgage myths that are untrue, says T.J. Freeborn, mortgage professional. Here are the top five mortgage myths that Freeborn encounters:

2. A pre-qualification is the same as a pre-approval. A pre-qualification is when “a potential borrower provides high-level financial information to the lender to get an estimate of how much house the buyer can afford and how much money a lender is willing to loan,” Freeborn says. Pre-approval, on the other hand, doesn’t happen until the borrower’s credit score, income and assets are verified by the lender. “The lender can then provide a specific mortgage amount to use when looking for a home,” she adds. 3. Choosing a mortgage banker at a retail bank where you have

accounts is best. Instead, research your lender options carefully by asking for referrals from family, friends, a tax adviser or real estate professional, Freeborn recommends.

4. All mortgages are created equal. Rates actually can vary widely

from one lender to another, as can closing costs and other fees that can amount to thousands of dollars. “Find a lender you can trust to guide you through the process,” Freeborn says.

5. Owning a home is more expensive than renting one. Actually, owning a home can prove to be a sound investment when the home’s value also increases, and “owning can add financial security and provide a sense of freedom and pride,” Freeborn says. “Many homeowners benefit from tax deductions, and money paid monthly on a loan is applied toward the principal, increasing your equity over time.” To get up to speed on mortgages and make better decisions on loans, borrowers need to do their homework, says Brian Koss. “Take home buyers classes in your area, read articles about mortgages, get preapproved for a loan and question everything you hear or read,” Koss says, especially if it doesn’t make total sense to you. 1. An interest rate is the only thing that impacts your monthly payment. It’s also essential to see out loans “from at least two different sources, “Most monthly mortgage payments consist of principal, interest, taxes such as a national bank, mortgage broker, local bank and regional mortgage lender,” he adds. and insurance,” Freeborn says.
